Froza 5 on PC has actually been one of the most Solid PC games that came out this year.
Indeed. And it’s fvcking beautiful too. Boring af, but gorgeous!
Lol at the shills downvoting.
That latex fool has been blocked a long time ago on my account.
WOW. Another one. So sad you people.
Just ignerdumb….
Latex is a joke here hahaha He gets easily triggered with downvotes, that is the only reason why I haven’t blocked him yet. S-fnx has also been blocked though. None of these people are capable to function normally. Reasoning with people like them is a waste of time, just mock and move on.
So damn dumb
I played it for the races (with cars), not for the political agenda, which I didn’t even notice, since I wasn’t looking for it.
If you’re going to search for everything “woke” in games, you’ll find it. And that, mate, means they won over you.
Best and correct thing to do is to ignore, but you can do whatever the hell pleases (or unpleases) you, cause I’m just a fake on the internet, not the gaming police.
;D
No, you’re just stupid, that’s it.
I do point out the pozz sometimes, but I won’t go full berserk on it ON EVERY POST, as if I had nothing else to do. And I won’t complain about a shlt I didn’t even payed for.
But I like the way you love to whine, it’s entertaining. Looks like you’re some old dude who can’t enjoy a game anymore and now the only “escapism” you have is to complain about everything, as if it was anyone else’s fault for your life being shlt.
I so wish this game had a sim mode. The sim-cade handling and physics I do not like.
That makes two of us, but that’s a job for Motorsport.
Not a single news about it, though.
Motorsport and Horizon share game engine. You can switch game to simulation mode. Go to options and choose ‘simulation’ instead of default ‘arcade’
Not even close as the same thing as driving in Motorsport. Not that the last title could compare against Assetto or iRacing or Automobilista, but it was nice to race on it, indeed.
Btw, if you know something like “Real Head Motion” for Motorsport 7, please let me know. I use it in Assetto/Competizione and can’t live without it in racing games anymore. Cheers.
Hopefully more pronoun choices
LOL
Finally pedestrian cars in online free roam. Meanwhile player designs are not appearing on drivatars in races and the music is still terrible (wish for a custom music station at least).
